Semua Bab Bad Boy Roommate: Bab 51 - Bab 57

Chapter 42 The butler was dressed in all black, he brought a fancy food trolley and set down the plates with tea. There was a glass stand with 3 tiers, one of them had cupcakes, the other had small tea cakes and the top most one had macarons.My mouth was watering and I pursed my lips to stop myself from drooling.“Please, help yourself.” He waved to the food.I ponder with suspicion.“If I wanted to poison you, I would have done it while you were unconscious.” He assured me.That’s some assurance alright!“Can I have some cold coffee instead? I don’t really drink tea.” I shrug. If I’m here, might as well dig in right?“Right away.” The butler gave a little bow and headed back to the kitchen.Impressive. I nod slowly, slightly impressed with the way things worked here.They are living in a completely different world from me, aren’t they? I can’t imagine living like this. I mean, I didn’t have a bad life by any means. My parents always made sure I had everything I needed, of course. H

The morning felt wrong the second I opened my eyes. The kind of wrong that sat in your stomach like a stone, heavy and cold, before your brain even caught up to why.

He crouched in front of me, resting one hand on my knee.“We’ve got to get ready,” he said. “But… we

Dani leaned so close to me at our cafeteria table that her hair practically dipped into my fries. “This is it,” she whispered like she was revealing the answer key to the universe. “The moment of triumph.”I raised an eyebrow. “By posting a picture?”“Not just a picture,” she corrected, wagging her finger. “The picture. Hazel, this is the best way to assert dominance and show everyone—especially Angela—that Taranis is yours and no one else’s.”I sighed, pushing my tray away. “I don’t know if this is revenge. Revenge is like…throwing fake blood on her in the middle of class. Or shaving her eyebrows while she sleeps.”Dani gave me the most unimpressed stare. “That’s messy. This is classy. Trust me, subtle humiliation lasts longer.”Her phone was already out, fingers tapping furiously as she drafted a post on my account like she’d been waiting for this day her whole life. I tried to snatch it back, but she hissed like a cat and pulled away.“Fine,” I muttered. “But if this backfires, you
